Roundabouts wrong for Leesburg

What's up with all these road changes in Leesburg? Traffic roundabouts may be great for rural roads with little or no traffic, but for Leesburg where there is major traffic it is downright dangerous. Anybody who has driven in New Jersey in their very populated traffic roundabouts knows how stressful it is to get in and out of them. Installing roundabouts just because DOT doesn't want to do maintenance on traffic signals is downright cheap on their part.

The waiting and idling to get into these roundabouts with all this traffic will be backing up Highway 27 in both directions. DOT claims that roundabouts will reduce the pollution of cars idling at the intersection. When did Florida get worried about pollution? Florida doesn't even embrace solar power.
